Shoreline Oil Spill Response for First Responders & Supervisors
Shoreline clean-up is the most visible element of spill response.
Shoreline protection, containment and recovery is just one of many response options available in the oil spill response toolbox. It involves the collection of oil from the water’s surface and from the shoreline substrate.
Shoreline response is often a time, finance and resource consuming activity.
This two day training course of presentations, group discussions and practical equipment hands-on deployment sessions provides a grounding in the operational challenges facing responders and supervisors when deploying resources for shoreline response. The course provides the background knowledge and practical deployment participation to allow course attendees to develop the skills required to effectively participate and supervise shoreline response operations.
This course could form part of company and/or statutory deployment exercise programme requirements.
